They played Rock am See in the same year with Berlin and Mönchengladbach so I think it's up to each festival's restrictions whether they can play single shows in the same year.

am i the only one who thinks it's fucked up that some stupid ass festival gets to decide whether they are allowed to play other shows or not?

Maybe the money the bands get from the festival are really good, and that's why they agree to such a clause in the contract. If they don't only play the festival that year, then they usually announce the dates very short after the festival (like RHCP for UK this year, in this case it was couple of days before Reading and Leeds).

I don't think the festivals do get a say.  The music festival business is an unusual one in that both the festival and the band are hugely mutually dependent on each other.  Without bands, there is no festival; without festival, band misses out on massive revenue.  However, for a band as big as green day, it's in the festival's best interest to do whatever the band wants to secure them, even if that means only having them for a little secret show like at Reading.

The inner nerd in me is really hoping they'll announce an NYC show the same week as UFC 205 so I have all the more reason to go to NYC. :lol: Excited for the (hopeful) announcement tomorrow!

Have one of you tech-savvy folks checked the coding for greenday.com for updates?

I was thinking the same thing. We need a cool tech guy.

Wait, didn't the Detroit station say there were announcing their news at 7am?
Isn't that Eastern time? (unless it's completely unrelated)

Of course I do remember that, but that's not what I meant. I just said it could be unusual to announce them on the exact same day. When I remember correctly, these two shows also weren't announced the same day Rock am See was. But we will see, I hope we'll get headline show dates soon as well.

Oh, I see. And I think you are right - both Mönchengladbach and Berlin were announced on a separate day as far as I remember. :)

I know I asked this before, but when will the first radio stations announce something? what time?

The only time I've seen is 7am EDT for the Detroit radio station.

Is it a rock station?

I checked greenday.com's source code and tried several key words such as "tour" or "california" or "usa" or "germany" but found nothing. Except for a list of every country which got me incredibly excited for a second until I realised they're not tour dates but a list of countries to select. Bummer. Maybe nothing is coming tomorrow or they learned from their previous mistakes. They probably know now how thirsty we are for any kind of information and they don't want to risk losing 4 years worth of posts again in an attempt to undo their fuck-up :D

Exactly. I remember buying Rock am See tickets thinking it could be their only show. Then the two dates were announced and I went to Mönchengladbach as well. If the shows had been announced on the same day as Rock am See, I would've probably gone to the two headline dates and not the festival. :) We will see. I'm very curious to see what will happen tomorrow.

Someone please recap what's going on. 

European Festival announcements tomorrow (around 10am eastern time, I'm assuming).
Multiple radio station announcements, earliest being 7am eastern time from a Detroit Station.
